For this case we have that by definition, the roots, or also called zeros, of the quadratic function are those values of x for which the expression is 0.

Then, we must find the roots of:

2x ^ 2-4x + 5 = 0

Where:

a = 2\\b = -4\\c = 5

We have to:x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}

Substituting we have:

x = \frac {- (- 4) \pm \sqrt {(- 4) ^ 2-4 (2) (5)}} {2 (2)}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {16-40}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {-24}} {4}

By definition we have to:

i ^ 2 = -1

So:

x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {24i ^ 2}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {24}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 6}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm 2i \sqrt {6}} {4}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Thus, we have two roots:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Answer:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}

What is the domain of the function f (x) x-5/x^2-9
nikklg [1K]
Means the number you can use
remember we can't divide by zero
domain is x^2-9
set to zero to find values we can't use
x^2-9=0
x^2=9
x=+/-3

domain=all real numbers except -3 and 3
